ATHENS DIARY is the second part of my "City Diaries" series that I have developed in collaboration with THE VELVET CELL. Between 27th April and 6th May 2015 I have taken extensive walks through the city looking whether the "Crisis" is reflected in the urban landscape of the Greek Capital.

Starting with the simplest, homemade vernacular architecture, based on human proportions and made with found construction materials, my photographs range as far as the exorbitant planned cities of glass, steel, and concrete. Find a selection of images here!

Rungholt was once believed to be the Northern Atlantis. it was submerged, so noone exactly knew where it was or when it had sunk into the sea, only that this has happened. In 1362, long before climate change became a media darling, a vast storm tide swamped Rungholt, something that could not be verified until the 1930s. There are no photographs of Rungholt but an idea of it.
